William's love for his country led him to serve in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, a chapter of his life that instilled in him the values of courage and commitment. He was a member of the McKeesport Gun Club, where he found camaraderie and joy in the great outdoors. He loved to hunt in Greene County and cherished fishing trips to Erie with his son. A man of many talents, William had the remarkable ability to fix anything, and family and friends alike knew they could always count on him in times of need. He loved to be in his garden, where he cultivated an array of tomatoes, peppers, and beautiful flowers, bringing a touch of nature's beauty into his life. William took immense pride in watching his children grow and often spent weekends cheering them on as they played sports. His greatest joy came from his grandchildren, who brought immeasurable happiness into his life. He took great pride in watching them grow, sharing stories, laughter, and lessons that will forever remain in their hearts.

In addition to his wife William is survived by children, Christopher (Marina Bradaric) Kirschner and Lisa (Brian) Scanlon; grandchildren, Brandon Scanlon, Anna Scanlon, and Lea Kirschner; a brother, Robert Kirschner.
